As for making games more healthy, I think having some physical aspect to them is a good idea, like Wii fit or some of the kinect motion games. Also, if I could hook up some kind of electric meter to the PC or xbox, and charge it via a stationary bike or something, that would be cool: 5m on the bike charges the PC for 10m or something.

That actually happened to me a few years ago and since then I just stopped going to Gamestop entirely. They rarely have stock on newer games anyway whereas Bestbuy and Walmart are usually afloat in extra copies.
